WHAT IS A FUNCTIONAL FRENULOPLASTY?
These tongue and lip ties come in various grades. If not addressed on time, these conditions can often cause the formation of a high and narrow palate. These conditions may also contribute to issues such as allergies, enlarged tonsils and adenoids, heart conditions, respiratory illnesses, dental problems, low resting tongue position, tongue thrusting, and sleep-disordered breathing.
WHY US?
FUNCTIONAL FRENULOPLASTY AND FASCIAL RELEASE
Given the tongue’s crucial role in various functions, limited mobility of the tongue can cause compensatory behaviors that can cause the muscles in the head and neck to strain over time. Additionally, our tongue is interconnected with the entire body through a network of connective tissue called fascia.
When the movements of the tongue are restricted, it can create tension within the fascia network, resulting in neck tension, discomfort, and postural issues. It may come as a surprise, but there is a direct link between orofacial function, tongue function, diaphragmatic breathing, and cervical posture. Our approach to Functional Frenuloplasty acknowledges the changes that occur after a tongue tie frenectomy surgery. It ensures the body is prepared for a smooth and optimal healing process following the treatment.
